Factions Preview

[semproniosabino]

fantastic work.
i really like the god "sabo/sancus" in the shield of sabines. this demostrate the professionality of this team, another historically accurate work.
just a little thing.... sabines were the best archers of the central italy after the "hernici". but they used bows more little than other populations, and short and heavy arrows. probably they hold the bow horizontally. but i don't know if it's possible to make this.
but this is a little thing...

great work guys.
thanks.

Another great preview, good work team.

I did'nt realise there had been such a diverse range of tribes within the Italian peninsula. The struggle between them for dominance must I suppose have greatly influenced the Roman ethos of warriorhood which shaped their attitude to the world and subsequently gave rise to the development of an empire.

Where appropriate, I can surmize we'll be using the overhand animation I created here:

[DR. Hobo. PHD.]

wow wow thats nice

[dragases1453]

Great work...i love especially those factions' symbols and the shields design

[justme]

:sign_woot


great job with those skins... very nice and very realistic looking, as with all past previews...

I generally make it a rule not to ask about release dates, but this is really tempting... so... any idea how long still? is there still much to be done (scripts? coding? campaign map? campaign code? gui & 2D art? etc?)?and will there be a N.5 preview? and are there any more factions still to be previewed?

Woa... I know that's quite a few questions, but then again:

Thanks a lot justme.

Well,there isn't still any release date, there's a lot of stuff to be completed.

Yes, other previews will be released, inculding the regional and mercenary units.

Dear Luciano ( Forza Italia! ),

First of all i have to say that i'm stunnish by the beauty of you're work, you're the one who know what a tunic look like for exemple, i love you're helmet and the design of the shield. You're unit are really beautifull. You are very interested on detail (me too) so i just have a suggestion.
Be myself a lover of ancient time and military warfare (i'm particulary studding the 2nd punic war now), it look like you did a litle mystake on the Punic symbols, but until now ALL modder do this mystake. According numerous scholar like peter Connolly and Yahn Le Bohec the Punic symbol is not the horse with the palm(in fact it is the Barcide Familly emblem, like we can see on spanish coin from 2nd punic war period) but the circle with the quarter moon turned in the top.
If you are interested i have some picture for you.
Well, once again thank's you for you're work and keep going i really love the idea to play with you're so beautifull unit.

[cmlax999]

I am speechless. Quando questa mod e rilasciato anche?

[Sparton Matticus]

Once again another great preview. Im just wondering will you bring in many variations of mercs? that are different to the units you get with each faction? Just to give this mod more variation. Because i have noticed most factions come with slingers, skirmishers, medium and heavy cavarly, heavy and light spearmen and swordsmen. I know this is how it probally was historical. Im ashuming that every faction will have its weakness and strengh with each unit? to make this mod more unique.

So to sum it up, how will you make each factions units unique?

[Rorarii]

keep up the good work guys.

BTW, When I tried to get closeup of the pictures, the site you use tried to download some Dialer.7AdPower spybot onto my computer but my antivirus removed it.

Are you sure Rorarii? ...I used "imageshak" as always ...I have just tested some of the pictures and I didn't find such kind of problem ...may I ask what's the picture that caused the problem you told about?

Thanks in advance.

[KALI]

Wow,
I don't think I saw Topus' new shield designs in the pre-preview. They're awesome

[Idomeneas]

Dont get me wrong guys but i think the greek helmets need some work. Except the pylos, boiotian and one attic. Im sure that many people wont agree but i think the greek factions are not as impresive as the other ones. Especially the celtic/italians which are very very good. Its not that they are bad but they are just.. ok. The shield blazons would need some more color they are too neutral. Plus that the muscled cuirasses didnt used soulder pads as linothorax. They were bound with hinges or a small metalic strap as we see in later years (after pelloponesian/helenistic years)

The mod seems very promisingand very interesting. Im sure you are bored of OMG useless posts so i thought to point out some things that would need afew improvements (as i see it offcourse)

cheers

[KLAssurbanipal]

WOW!!!
